The Inner Battlefield (0:00)
Essential Teachings from the Gita (14:15)
Root and Ground (30:18)
“At a symbolic level, what the Gita is, is a dialogue between God and the seeker. And the battlefield turns out to be the inner battlefield, the battlefield of our own evolutionary being.” - Ram Dass
“The essential teaching which the Gita is trying to convey is that the real center and soul, the basic reality of you and I, is not the superficial consciousness which we ordinarily call, ‘myself.’ What we are, fundamentally, is this unthinkable source of life and existence named Brahman, the expansive.” - Alan Watts

So deep--- you must have taken all the ologies in college.
Ram Dass is a total lightweight.
When my partner and I listen to Alan Watts talks, which we love, I often say to him "can you imagine having a dad like him?" Never knew he had a son, must've been something else ❤
In bed at 2am listening to Alan discussing the Gita is truly magical ❤❤
Dear Mark, thanks from the bottom of our hearts for keeping Ram Dass and Alan Watts legacy alive! Two great minds talking on Bhagavad Gita, which is a much needed Instruction Manual for the mankind! I revere both the speakers. The way things are going today in the world, it would be a wise step to understand and follow its teachings! It does not talk about any particular religion. It is a "Way of Life"! It is astounding to know how the Great minds of Western world had openly praised the worthiness of Bhagavad Gita. I highly recommend the seekers to read with an open mind, esp. as mentioned by Ram Dass.
I'm starting to listen. So far, it sounds like it's presented in a way that's very understandable and enjoyable.
The immeasurably profound Mr Watts communicating the ageless wisdom. Thank “you”.

Hinduism.. The eternal and most scientific religion..
I don’t look at Buddhism or Hinduism as Religion. To me they are more ways of living. To me, Hinduism makes so much sense to me. I believe that if you do label Hinduism as a religion. It’s the closest to the truth, in my opinion.
@@Evolvingwithin777 So true! Hinduism is a spiritual way of life, rather than a religion..
@@rammohanv good way of putting it. Hinduism is so beautiful and has so many facets to it. A fun fact, the Bhagavad Gita predates the Bible by 2,000 years. It’s 4,000 years old and Christianity is 2,000 years old. A lot of the stories from the Bible were stolen from the Bhagavad Gita. For instance, Abraham is actually Lord Brahma and Sarswati is Sarah. Not all of it is stolen, but there are too many stories that are similar.
@@Evolvingwithin777 of course its a religion. are you kidding? what?
@@deveryhenderson8335 I am entitled to my opinion. Whether it jives with yours or not. It’s a way of living. If you were to follow any of it teachings you would realize it.

Wouldn't want you to be on that man position
how is Bhagavad Gita "a short book"?? It's over 600 pages
There are many versions available in many world languages. The number of pages depends on its contents, like how and what is included. If you want ONLY slokas (verses) mentioned, it will be a thin book. If you want the slokas, their transliteration, meaning of each and every sanskrit word, the translation in brief, finally, the full explanation or analysis (this is usually the commentary by the author, the way he interprets) of each sloka, the book can be more voluminous!
Whats the best english translation of the gita?
you can buy an english version from any bookstore or online
Just be sure NOT to buy the ISKCON Version by Prabhupada. I like the Swami Sivananda version.
@@OnlineMD totally agree, I’d avoid the iskcon one. Sivananda one Is great also one by swami Chinmaya is very good.
I know right? I would like to learn Sanskrit. I know there are places that teach it. But, still you never know if you are getting the correct translation.
Swamiji Mukananda and Swamiji Yogananda both have translations that I would see to be trustworthy. Especially yoganandas.

Alan Watts seems to say very little with a lot of words.
